Earl Grey Salmon Recipe

I had this dish at a 5-star restaurant and was unsuccessful in finding the recipe. But it was simply a salmon fillet that had been marinated in Earl Grey tea. So I fudged the recipe myself and this is what I came up with.

How to make it

Strain half of the tea leaves into a marinating container of some sort (with lid is great) and place the salmon pieces on top of the tea leaves.

Strain the other half of the tea leaves on top of the salmon pieces.

Spoon about 6 tbsps. of the steeped tea into the marinating container and cover.

Marinate in the fridge for about 6 hours, turning the salmon pieces once or twice.

The salmon can then be seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled, broiled or pan fried. A 6-ounce salmon fillet takes approximately 3 minutes per side to cook; a steak takes less than that, so watch carefully and don't overcook. It is cooked when it is no longer transparent in the middle.

Serve with fresh lemon wedges. Anything else would mask the subtle flavour of the tea.

Sounds great! I've got a lovely salmon filet in the freezer right now that I was just wondering what to do with -- and I DO have some Earl Grey tea as well! I simply MUST try this soon, sounds heavenly!
